<b>Teacher of <a name="_Hlk97812335" rel="no-follow">Modern Foreign Languages </a></b><br />
(with Key Stage Responsibility available)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ark St Alban’s Academy is seeking to appoint a skilled and enthusiastic linguist to join its successful and growing MFL Department.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We prioritise a mastery of French from the beginning of Key Stage Three, where teachers at Ark St Alban’s Academy collaborate with colleagues across Ark Schools in the development of a knowledge rich, trust-wide curriculum which all pupils study.  At Key Stage Four, many pupils study French or Spanish, and it is our intention in the years ahead that the whole cohort will study at least one language as French becomes part of our core curriculum offer. Whilst we have not had a French or Spanish cohort through Key Stage 5 in recent years, we are also keen to offer French and/or Spanish as an A-Level subject to support pupil access to a wide-range of courses when applying to university.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pupils make good progress in languages at Ark St Alban’s Academy. We recognise that excellent attainment in languages provide our pupils with access to competitive transformational destinations. As such, the continued success of our languages department is central to our mission to prepare all of our pupils for success at university.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>At Ark St Alban’s Academy, we are supporting all of our pupils to climb the mountain to university.</b></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We believe that success in a university preparatory curriculum is the best way to make sure that all of our pupils can make meaningful choices about their future when they leave us. As such, we teach an academically rigorous curriculum and provide pupils with both the pastoral support and the excellent teaching that they need in order to thrive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>As a Church of England School, we believe that climbing the mountain to university is the best way to challenge all our pupils to fulfil their God-given talents. We also recognise our role in addressing inequality by ensuring that pupils drawn from a low-income community have the opportunity to attain an excellent education. This role will provide you with the opportunity to lead colleagues in achieving truly exceptional outcomes for the young people that we serve.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>We are seeking an excellent teacher to join our work to provide a transformational education for all of our pupils. </b></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>A candidate with relevant skills and experience could also be considered for a position of key stage of subject leadership within this growing department.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
